Imagestore-Modular (ISM-3901)

Single Card, 3G/HD/SD Master Control and Branding

Imagestore-Modular is a low cost, 3G/HD/SD modular master control and branding processor. It offers exceptional space and energy efficiency, with up to 10 channels in a 3 RU Densité frame. Master control features include AB video/audio mixing (16 channels) plus voiceovers. Designed for pre-rendered graphics, it can provide five layers of keying (three internal stores), character generation and EAS, as well as clock and temperature insertion.

FEATURES

Modular 3G/HD/SD branding processor

  • Single, card master control and branding processor
  • Module is housed in Densité 3 frame, with up to 10 cards (channels) per frame
  • Supports 3G/HD/SD (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576i, 480i, 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz)
  • Uses widely adopted Oxtel automation protocol (Ethernet, RS-232/422)
  • Manual control options include iMC panels, Branding Panel, PresStation, Vertigo Xpanel GUI, and iControl PC-based control

Multilayer channel branding

  • Four independent keying layers: three can be fed by internally stored stills/animations, and one layer fed by external graphics device (fill and key input)
  • Integral storage capacity of up to 4,000 images/animations
  • Independent preview output
  • Automated character generation for static or data-driven text rendering and crawls
  • In-vision digital/analog clock insertion (with CG option)
